Releases involving Joomag

It doesn't matter which industry you’re in, Joomag has you covered. Our homepage now includes a “White Papers” section replete with high-powered digital solutions for numerous industries. We’ll continue to update it with even more papers down the line.

Spruce up your photo galleries with Joomag’s brand new animation effects. To do so, navigate to “Element Properties” and apply your effect from the “Animation Effects” drop-down menu.

And any stock media currently used in a publication will now be labeled as “Used” under the “My Library” section in the Crater™ Editor.

We’re also working hard to improve our new HTML5 Desktop Viewer. Although we couldn't have asked for a better launch, we’re still committed to delivering an exceptional viewing experience for you.

The best videos are short and sweet, tightened up by publishers to maximize reader engagement. Our latest platform fix ensures your publications are now fully compatible with any short videos you choose to include in them.

Bugfixes

Fixed: videos under 5 seconds were unusable. Thumbnails for these videos could not be generated.

“How can we make things even easier for our publishers?” It’s a common question we ask ourselves here at Joomag. And this time the answer is easy.

Publishers can now assign any contact list they’ve created in the Awesome CRM™ to an Email Subscribe Form plugin. After readers complete the subscription form, they’ll be added to the assigned list automatically, without leaving the Crater™ Editor. Add new contacts to your lists from within your publication and keep them engaged with more personalized content. If that’s not convenient, we don’t know what is!

Check out the video below to see how it all works.

New Features

Email Subscribe Form plugin improvements in the Awesome CRM™ - publishers can now assign a list of contacts to each plugin. Readers who complete a subscription form will then have their emails added to that list automatically.

Update:4.5.2 - The Crater™ Editor Gets a Makeover + New Templates and Bugfixes→

Joomag’s Crater™ Editor has been completely redsigned! In addition to an exquisitely new gray and blue color palette, the editor’s UI has also been tweaked. Aesthetics or functionality? With Joomag, it’s always both.

We’ve also included some new templates for you to try out. Create a perfect presentation or document for almost every kind of business.

New Features

Crater™ Editor redesign - new color theme and UI functionalities have been added to the Crater™ Editor, resulting in a more streamlined publishing experience.

18 new templates - new templates have been added to the following categories: Presentations (8), Magazines (2), Documents (7), and Portfolio (1).

Bugfixes

Fixed: videos that were resized in the Crater™ Editor via the Selection tool were played in incorrect dimensions in the viewer.

Hungry? Great, because we’ve cooked up another appetizing batch of platform features.

Publishers now have access to even more printing options for their publications, in addition to some nifty discounts. The Crater™ Editor just got a whole lot easier to use, too, as image and video thumbnails are now correctly oriented in the user’s Library. Read on to find out why that’s great news for you.

New hard copy printing options and improvements

Joomag will now dynamically fetch all available printing options for your publications from its improved cloud print network. For example:

1. Hardcover books are now an available option.

2. New discounts can be applied to printing. That means lower prices for readers whenever they print a higher number of publications, or longer ones. Note: discounts are provided individually for each printing option type. Accordingly, some options may not have any discounts.

3. New blank and white printing options are now available.

Changed image/video previews to show their orientation

Users are no longer required to manually place images or videos on a page to determine their orientations (portrait, landscape, or square). Thumbnail orientations are now properly displayed in the user’s Library, making it easier to understand which types of multimedia they are.

Update:4.5.0 - New Images, Scheduling Software and more updates come to Joomag→

New iStock images in Crater™ Editor's library

Is more always better? With Joomag, the answer is “yes!” Brand-new images have been added to the Crater™ Editor’s already extensive library, courtesy of iStock. We believe in the power of options, so we’re giving you even more of them. Choose from millions of high-quality iStock images to include in your publications. We worked hard to bring these photos to our platform at incredibly affordable prices (only $2.99), and can’t wait to see how you use them.

Scheduled publishing

You’re committed to publishing your content on a consistent basis, but doing so can be a total nightmare without the right tools. Don’t let it. With Joomag’s brand new scheduling feature, you can set specific times and days to publish your content on. Use it alongside your content calendar to crush your goals in no time.

Improved selection tool

Working with images just got a whole lot easier. With Joomag’s new selection tool, it’s now possible to:

1) resize images without stretching or compressing them.

2) crop images right away. The crop icon will appear whenever an image is selected.

Extra email personalization

Users can now set custom "from" fields for campaign and system template emails. Emails will then be sent from that specific domain instead of Joomag, adding an extra layer of personalization to email campaigns. This nifty little feature is only available for Enterprise members.
